WHAT HIS COACH HAD TO SAY
Gaither first year head football coach, Kirk Karsen has been around the block some. A member of the coaching staff of some talented football teams for the last 17 years. This is what he had to say about his junior running back…

“Jeremy is a great kid. He is very humble you would never know that he’s a great football player by the way he is in school and how he treats his teammates. He never complains even though he had hamstring issues this year. He gives us everything he’s got. I coached two of the best running back’s in the [Hillsborough] county’s history in Lydell Ross (Ohio State) and Ray Ray McLeod III (Clemson) and he has a very similar skill set to Ray Ray with Lydell’s incredible toughness.”
